Increasing game threads to 7 causes a sound bug that removes all sounds except for bullet casings

Issue Type (Required):

Audio

Issue Description (Required):

AFAIK a lot of people have encountered that sound bug where firing a weapon removes all sounds except for the tinkle of bullet casings dropping to the floor. I never encountered this bug until just now when I built a new PC. Previously I was running the game at 6 worker threads, but I figured I would increase that to 7 to take advantage of the new CPU I bought. This immediately caused the sound bug, I wasn’t aware of the cause for a while but after googling around to find people with the same problem I reduced worker threads back to 6 and the sound bug was fixed.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

For me I can cause this bug if I increase worker threads from 6 to 7 (or possibly higher). This may not be the same for other computers, but the common theme I noticed is that setting worker thread count too high can cause this bug as well as other issues.

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam
